01About Karen
Karen House is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She keeps a straightforward, conversational style and focuses on problem-solving so people leave sessions with practical tools. Sessions aim to build skills over time while also addressing new concerns as they arise.
Her work often centers on stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar struggles, and substance use concerns. She also helps people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and LGBT-related issues.
Background and approach
Sleep troubles, parenting strain, anger, and family conflict are common topics she addresses. Beyond those core areas, Karen supports people facing attachment struggles, codependency, and communication or commitment problems. She works with those dealing with divorce and separation, domestic violence histories, eating and food-related issues, and the impact of natural or human-caused disasters.
First responder issues and co-occurring conditions are also within her focus. Karen draws on approaches such as client-centered therapy to tune into a person’s priorities. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
For processing trauma, she includes EMDR and emotionally-focused methods when appropriate. Clients can expect a collaborative process that includes in-session practice and between-session activities. Her goal is to help people develop tools they can use day to day.
Karen is based in Colorado and conducts work in English, and she accepts international clients.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Karen commonly uses client-centered therapy to make sessions focused on what matters most to the individual - listening closely and shaping the work around personal goals. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and many everyday problems because it gives clear steps to practice. For trauma, Karen incorporates EMDR to help process disturbing memories and reduce their hold on daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Karen will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and new issues emerge.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotional coaching. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, ongoing reflection, and written tracking of thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work even when travel or schedules complicate in-person visits.
